Ben Kweller - On Her Own lyrics

Good old Alexandra left her man last night Off to Louisiana, New Orleans in sight Her determination went right down to her bones She is gonna make it on her own, yeah Always been a rambler, moving her whole life Daddy was a gambler with a heavy-hearted wife The twilight wind blows her face and that Bronco's engine moan She is gonna make it on her own That girl don't fake it Give her rules she'll break it She'll love you on and on and then she'll be gone She's gonna make it On her own, yeah She's on her own, yeah Mom lives down in Gretna working at the the Oakwood Mall Hasn't seen her Alex since Katrina conquered all She'll be in and out as fast as a hurricane is blown She is gonna make it on her own That girl don't fake it Give her rules she'll break it She'll love you on and on and then she'll be gone She's gonna make it On her own, yeah Baby's on her own, oh yeah I fantasize about a love she never had for me She wouldn't marry him 'cause she just wants her liberty In fifty years I'll bet you'll see these words on her gravestone "Here's a girl who made it on her own" That girl don't fake it Give her rules she'll break it She'll love you on and on and then she'll be gone That girl don't fake it Give her rules she'll break it She'll love you on and on and on and on and on She's gonna make it On her own
